Compliance to the regulations stipulated in Occupational Safety & Health Act 1994, better known as OSHA 1994 is mandatory. Companies and organisations are required to provide evidences of full compliances to the authorities when they are requested to do so. HSE personnel, SHOs and Safety & Health Committee members must be well-aware and conversant with every aspect of OSHA 1994 and be able to implement them at their respected workplaces. Inadequate understanding or failure to comply to OSHA 1994 regulations could mean severe reprimands/penalties from the authorities and may endanger the workers at their respective organisations.

Work By Sitting
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) 47 Many of the symptoms of CVS (see Table 1) can be broadly classified as "asthenopia." Most of these symptoms are also associated with other forms of near work. Neck and/or backaches are listed as a symptom of CVS since the eyes lead the body. Computer workers will often assume awkward postures in order to position their eyes so that they can perform their work - resulting in these musculoskeletal symptoms. This can be the result of a poorly designed work station, assuming awkward postures due to using spectacles which are improperly designed for the task or due to making accommodations for a particular eye/vision disorder. Eyestrain (Non-Specific Ocular Discomfort) Blurred Distant Vision Fatigue Dry or Irritated Eyes Headache Neck and/or Backaches Blurred Near Vision Diplopia (Double Vision)
